Note: The stabilizer and wing incidences and engine
thrust angles have been factory-built into this model.
However, some technically-minded modelers may
wish to check these measurements anyway. To view
this information, visit the web site at
www.top-
flite.com and click on “Technical Data.” Due to
manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no
effect on the way the model will fly, there may be
slight deviations between your model and the
published values.
KIT INSPECTION
Before starting to build, take an inventory of this kit to
make sure it is complete, and inspect the parts to
make sure they are of acceptable quality. If any parts
are missing or are not of acceptable quality, or if you
need assistance with assembly, contact Product
Support. When reporting defective or missing parts,
use the part names exactly as they are written in the
Kit Contents list on page 5.

ORDERING REPLACEMENT PARTS
Top Flite offers replacement parts for all of its
models. However, due to the nature of the Nobler
ARF and the fact that it is essentially a “one-piece”
model, fuselage and wing kits are not offered
separately. The only replacement parts offered are
the cowl (TOPA1300) and canopy (TOPA1301).
Replacement parts are not available from Product
Support, but can be purchased from hobby shops or
mail order/Internet order firms. Hardware items
(screws, nuts, bolts) are also available from these
outlets. If you need assistance locating a dealer to
purchase parts, visit www.greatplanes.com and
click on “Where to Buy.” If this kit is missing parts,
contact Product Support.
Note: Full-size plans are not available for the
Nobler ARF.
The Top Flite Control Line Nobler ARF is factory
covered with Top Flite MonoKote Sapphire blue
film (6' [1.8m] roll–TOPQ0226). Should repairs
ever be required, MonoKote can be patched with
additional MonoKote purchased separately.
MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls, but some
hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a
small piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor
patch, perhaps a fellow modeler would give you
some. MonoKote is applied with a model
airplane covering iron, but in an emergency a
regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote
includes full instructions for application.
